the exception of replacement of the power cord.

needs to be removed from the wall for any other reason

please begin service by following the "PREPARATION

"INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING FROM WALL".

Tools Required: Philips head screwdriver

WARNINg: Disconnect power before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric

shock or damage to persons.

at least 10 minutes for lights and heating elements to cool

wedged underneath the Partially Reflective Glass. They

Glass from the sides and carefully lift it up and out from

the front of the fireplace. Set it aside in a safe place.
